Chapter 42: Crown Prince of Stellarus Empire (2)
*************
LOCATION: STELLARUS EMPIRE
ROYAL THRONE ROOM
"So, tell me. Are the young masters from the Marquis Chevalier household already met the Crown Prince?"
His Majesty, the Emperor, Leirano asked his trusted aide beside him.
"Answering to Your Majesty, they had already indeed inside the inner palace of the Crown Prince and from the witness alone, Sir Yohan is the one who guided the young masters inside the inner palace."
Emperor Leirano hummed as he took the glass wine that was poured and served by his aide and drank it.
"What's your opinion about them, REVUS?"
His Majesty's trusted aide named Revus had a deadpan expression on his face as he answered honestly.
"To begin with. The First Young Master, the heir apparent of the Marquis Chevalier household, although others stated that he resembles his father, the current Marquis Augustus, too much but from what could this one observed, the First Young Master is something more to it that his father."
Revus paused for a minute while contemplating whether to continue or not and Emperor Leirano noticed how his trusted aide stopped midway through and signal the other man to continue.
"Go on. I know you have more anything to say about this matter."
Upon receiving an approval from the Emperor, Revus took a deep breath as he continued.
"As for the Third Young Master, the illegitimate child of Marquis Chevalier from his second unofficial wife, Lady Aryna, who has a commoner background, rumored to be a bad-tempered and ill-mannered child and also was subjected into humiliation according to the scandal that widespread within the Empire…."
Revus stopped once again but sighed as he continue once more; "Not only that, but his appearance also resembles his biological mother, Lady Aryna, too much and only his cyan-colored eyes that he inherited from the Marquis could still indicate that he is still the child from Chevalier household, although he is widely known to be a half-blood born noble as he couldn't manifest the Knight Warrior bloodline of the main family."
Emperor Leirano nodded as he held his chin while trying to remember that child and his biological mother's appearance.
"Aryna Asterrix is a mysterious woman who just suddenly appeared in Marquis Augustus Chevalier's life but from the investigation reports about her, she came from a merchant family and their family is the Leader of the Merchant Alliance that holds the most extensive network information across the continent.
They could be qualified to gain a noble title if they wanted to, but their background is highly secured that even the Imperial Security and Squad division couldn't find anything about them."
Revus nodded because these were known facts from before and after; "However, after the sudden death of Lady Aryna Asterrix, the Third Young Master became who he was from the rumors and now he was subjected to the humiliation because of the Marchioness' fault, just by looking at the Third Young Master earlier, he would have fainted if the First Young Master wasn't here to accompany the child."
Emperor Leirano sighed as he held his forehead and stood up from his throne and gazed at the window while facing back at his aide.
"Enough with that. Send someone to watch and observe within the Crown Prince Palace and see to it what they were talking about. Make sure that no one would be caught then."
Revus bowed with his right hand placed on his shoulder and said; "As you ordered, Your Majesty."
After that, Revus left the Royal Throne Room, leaving the Emperor inside…. Alone.
When Emperor Leirano saw the silhouette of his aide vanish within the throne room, he sighed as he took something from his left pocket, and it revealed a crystal necklace with the crown and moon insignia at the center.
He sighed as he gazed at the necklace that was entrusted to him.
'How much longer should I be able to protect your son, Aryna….'

YOHAN…..
Eclipse remembered that old man's name from his previous life. How could he forget the person who also served as his torturer when he was framed back then?
Yohan, as he introduced himself earlier, is an old servant and a trusted aide serving the Crown Prince of this Empire, but no one knows about his background other than he came from a slum but was brought out by the Crown Prince to serve at his side.
'Tsk! He could have deceived others, but he wouldn't be able to conceal the bloodlust that surrounds him.'
He might have just an old looking man but don't judge his old appearance because he is not just who others think he is.
"We have arrived."
Eclipse snapped from his thoughts when he noticed that they had stopped at the golden door in front of them and he took a deep breath because he never expected that he would meet this b*stard of a Crown Prince earlier than the original plot.
*KNOCK!
*KNOCK!
*KNOCK!
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince. This old servant is here together with the First Young Master Altron and Third Young Master Ezekiel from the Marquis Chevalier household had arrived."
After Yohan announced their arrival, the cold yet gentle familiar voice coming from behind the golden door speaks.
"Come on it!"
After that, Yohan pushed the door opened and Eclipse still pretended to be anxious while clutching to the First Young Master's clothes.
If others could see this, they would think he is now in a crying mess because of how he holds the First Young Master as if the other man is his lifeline.
However, in reality, Eclipse was just restraining himself not to launch an attack at the sight of the Crown Prince lest he wants to get himself into trouble or worst case, be killed on the spot.
"Oh my! Is the Third Young Master alright? No need to worry! I didn't invite you to scold you or something, haha!"
'That frivolous and mischievous tone of voice of his! How could I have forgot about that!'
One of the six male leads of the world novel plot [Mystique Enchantress] ….
The mother of the current Empress Raziah and the first born son and crowned as the Crown Prince of Stellarus Empire…..
Crown Prince ALOIS HENRI DE STELLARUS.
